With the proposed PLEX changes, it looks like we'll soon be getting more microtransactions. Instead of debating whether not this is a good idea (fairly certain these are here to stay), let's discuss what additions and ideas might be expanded with microtransactions.
* More ship SKINs (obviously), but also new Alliance SKINs * Attribute remaps (take effect immediately) * Name changes (not sure if this is practicle or not) * Vanity items: Hats, capes and beards (including neck variant) just to name a few
Some ideas that are bound to be more controversial:
* Skill training accelerators (24-hours). * Crime immunity (triggers a 30-second invulnerability/warp core bonus when the victim of a criminal attack; not applicable in null-sec or wormhole space). Can only be used once every 72 hours. * Premium Empire ships (the specs for these would fall somewhere between AT and Pirate Faction hulls). * Drifter characters and ships. |

As long as the items you buy are cosmetic or need to be combined with something only available in-game to work (i.e. skill extractors), I don't have a problem and I doubt there will be much push back from the community.
If the NES starts selling things that confer an in-game advantage - i.e. implants or skins that provide a bonus, I think we'll have a problem. It will largely be a perceptual problem - we've been able to turn cash into PLEX and use it to buy things in-game for a long time but people will still perceive it as pay-to-win and object.
Otherwise, more granular PLEX is a good thing. Having 3 virtual currencies never made any sense. 2 are necessary - PLEX to real world currency exchange rate is constant. PLEX to ISK exchange rate floats.
I do think it will result in more business for the NES and provide a useful ISK sink for the game. |

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Money and time are both virtual items, and relate to each other.
Paying more means more done in the time. That's the simplified version.
So, what are things that take time that could be put into a fast queue, if you pay.
Training has been done.
Perhaps industrial building?
Perhaps Citadel building time?
Perhaps a faster industrial ship?
Faster auto-pilot?
A whole new universe of faster action beckons.
Some spoilsports might argue that it's pay to win.
But there is no win in EVE.

GUYS!!!
This is the curse of FTP.
I't now like it is and all the complaining is useless....
That this will come was clear the moment they called out FTP....
It's also clear that we will soon welcome "beta,gamma,delta and so on clones wihich hve "slight advantages" over alphas,but cost less than omegas....
Get used to it or cry in anger...it does not matter...no monocle riot this time like it was last time....the game has changed.players have changed......
They see no "problem" in those kind of microtransations like we did....
They know it from other games and find those kind of things "normal".
So no....no riots like a couple of years ago over the monocle....
Opinions against MT are outdated....they are a relict of better times.....
THIS is reality today....MT are "normal"..... |

does this mean we get like premium fully fitted out ships , santa hat would love a santa hat , go faster stripes , fluffy dice , and of course the nodding dog .
maybe officers walkin home with all the mods cons , drone maids well have to have them and with designer outfits .and with the wallet warriors just buy it , what ever station you are in .
well since many games have this as a buisness model and brings in the cash its a no-brainer to what will happen or time .
gets the popcorn out , pity cant make tin foil hats how much isk i make , sorry but do see the funny side at least gave me a chuckle . |

This is again one of those things that shows "slippery slope" is real.
As a Finn, I am an expert on slippery icy slopes.
One single misstep, and your ass is snowballing downhill thereafter. You can forget about conveniently stopping when you want, to have a cup of tea, mid-slope. This ride doesnt stop till you reach the bottom.
And you can forget about climbing back up afterwards. Not possible. Not even one step.

what i mean is you cant drive up prices of plex by destroying plex because pvp no longer exists only way to drive up plex value is to cause isk inflation and that is done with power creep pve boats |
